Birds & Blooms’ Friday Fun Photo for September 21, 2012: Chickadee in Feeder by Nikki Nichols of Pensacola, Florida. Nikki writes, “When I saw this little bird inside the feeder, there was another one on the outside, pecking on the glass, as if trying to help its friend out. I had to lower the feeder, and I turned it sideways so the trapped bird faced the hole, but it didn’t move. I gave it a tiny nudge from behind, and it poked its head out the hole. After another gentle push, it flew out. It was amazing that it didn’t seem scared at all! Maybe it knew I was trying to help, or else it rather liked being in there with all the food!”
Time to share your funny caption for this little bird! Happy Friday!

“This birdhouse has a great view…and it comes stocked with food. I’ll take it!”
I guess that saying is true…” u are what u eat .”
Private dinning with a View…..
Who’s smarter now kitty, kitty.
I hope I don’t have to wait till the tray is empty to fill it so I can get out .
If the early bird gets the worm…I’m gonna get the buffet!
I like this one Cathy!!
Help I’m inside and I can’t get out.
Now how the heck do I get outta here?
You are what you eat!
Is anybody out there??? I could use some help here.

“Now, how do I get to the bathroom”???
I didn’t do it, I’m innocent. Let me out of here!
I feel like a fish in a fish bowl.
Oops, I did it again…

I guess the old saying “The seed is always sweeter on the other side” isn’t true after all.
“I think I should eat out today”
“Here is your reporter on the scene trying to get an inside scoop”
Now what
In two words.. If you and I woke up next to each other in jail what would you say?
I DIDNT KNOW IT WAS A TRAP!!NOW WHAT?
I DONT WANT TO BE YOUR PET!!!!
I ate so many seeds I’m now too fat to get through the hole.
“Somebody, let me out of here!”
DONT WANT TO BE A PET FOR SOMEONE!!!!
HELP PLEASE, I,VE HAD ENOUGH!!!!
“Oh, and I left the potion bottle on the outside again…”
the grass is not always greener on the other side.

Well this is ANOTHER fine mess I’ve gotten myself into…
LOL I love this comment! So fitting!
Oh, Mom! Not another time out! You’re gonna super-size me if you keep this up!
I’ve fallen and I can’t get out.
I’m Sorry but did you see the seed out there? It’s nothing but red milo, millet and cracked corn….I’m in here lookin’ for some good stuff!! Where’s the sunflower seeds or golden safflower!! A bird needs to EAT!!
Thought maybe the seeds were always fresher on the other side of the fence.
you’ve got to be kidding me…what have i done now?? …stay calm….just stay calm….
So, the grass isn’t always greener on the other side!!!
How’d those seeds get out there?
“I thoht I saw a puddy cat.”
Cute One !
Chickadee: She’s outstanding in her “feeder!”
I want it all to my self.
Umm, I just came in to get out of the wind?
“I’ve always wondered what it is like to be in a fishbowl.”
Personally, I got a big kick out of Joan’s comment about another fine mess.
Their right, this apartment has a great view.
HA HA Puddy-Cat …..You cant git me !
Hay, UPS DRIVER help me get out of here, please.
Whooops! Where the exit?

Nice bed and breakfast.
A bird in the feeder is worth two on the outside.
Well it seemed like a good idea at the time.
“Yes? May I help you?”
See the seed, be the seed!
Talk about eating you way to the middle!
Uh-Oh! This is not working out exactly as I had planned!
The last thing I heard the GPS saying was ‘Recalculating’!
This hotel is for the birds!
“I think there is something wrong with this picture”
Here kitty kitty kitty!!
Safe at last! The cat can’t get me in here.
Oh snap!
Now I understand what it means to be on ‘the wrong side of the tracks.’
“I left you some”!!
Hey, Hey, HEY !!!!! Where did the food go !
Why do I feel like I’m living n a fish bowl??
I think the cat is gone now…you can let me out!
Help… I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!
I like this house, I think I’ll stay.
“Finally, room and board, with a meal plan included”
Uh, HELP!
Safe from the cat!
If I promise to be good ,Can I come out?
Well how in the world did I get myself into this predicament?
All I remember is just tasting the cat food and woke up here.
“This is what it’s like on the other side of the glass, and I like it”.
Eat like a bird huh? This was full when I started.
dining with a view!
I thought this was the “up” elevator.
I ate the whole thing and now I can’t get out the exit!!!!
The grass in Not greener on the other side!
“Here on the Inside … outside’s so far away”

Out??? Why would I want to do that?
Oh my, think I went through the looking glass!
I’m in the feeder, feeds outside, Mom always said to be careful what you wish for!
What is this, a cat feeder?
I’m seeing life from the inside.
“So this must be what all those zoo animals feel like. Claustrophobic!”
Uh-oh!! I must’ve taken a wrong turn!
How did a sharp bird like me get in predicament like this?
How did a smart bird like me get in a predicament like this??
GOLD!!!!!! I’ve found Gold!!!! and sunflowers and seeds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can live here all winter if I get the right drapes!
Tab please? I’ve finished dinner and I am ready to go!
I used to complain about always being on the outside looking in…….
“HEY!!! What do think this is a freak show? Somebody get me the hell outa here!”
I guess I’ll have to eat my way out!
I’m on the inside looking out…sounds like a song I once heard!
I taugt I saw a puddy cat, I did, I did…I’m safe now.
Where’s that prize??
